Velvet Shadows

[Verse]
Night pours thick like honey
Slow and black
Streetlights hum their secrets
Fading track
I walk alone
My shadow whispers back
The air is heavy
But I carry it all
One step forward
Never gonna fall

[Prechorus]
Do you hear it
The pulse in the dark
A rhythm
A spark
Tearing me apart

[Chorus]
Velvet shadows
They call my name
Soft and quiet
But they burn the same
I can’t outrun
I can’t explain
Velvet shadows
They know my pain

[Verse 2]
Memories drip like water
Leave a stain
Every drop a moment
Sweet with pain
I see your face in every window pane
The city speaks
But it don’t heal my soul
I keep moving
Though it’s taking a toll

[Bridge]
Time bends slow
Like it’s holding its breath
Every step I take feels closer to death
But there’s beauty in the struggle
In the weight I heft
Velvet shadows
They dance
They stay
I’m not alone
They’re here
They’ll never stray

[Chorus]
Velvet shadows
They call my name
Soft and quiet
But they burn the same
I can’t outrun
I can’t explain
Velvet shadows
They know my pain
